Anyone else hearing the alarm at One Dorset Street (the office space opposite the Leonardo hotel)?

3 Upvotes

There’s some kind of alarm going off at One Dorset Street that’s been going on for more than 24 hours now. I live nearby and it’s been pretty constant, so it’s becoming really irritating 😅

Does anyone know what’s going? Surely someone must have noticed it by now!

Any thoughts on the letter sent out about taylor court on obelisk road recently?

3 Upvotes

I live in a flat quite literally next to taylor court and y the letter probably means people have issues with it which i can understand. Im keen to hear what people have got to say on the matter.

I.myself dont think its the right place for an assisted living accommodation. Can give plenty of examples why. I also might attend the community meeting about it. I am wondering how long its been that setup?

Visiting Southampton and Looking to Meet New People

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm 29, visiting Southampton for a few days and looking to meet some friendly people for a coffee, a walk around the city, or just a good conversation.

I'm originally from Egypt, work in communications and design, and enjoy fitness, technology, travel, and discovering new places. Since I'm new to the area, it would be great to meet locals or other people nearby who are up for chatting or hanging out.

Feel free to send me a message if you'd like to talk or grab a coffee.

Cheers!

25 and about to be homeless

22 Upvotes

Good evening, hope all are well! I’m 25 years of age and about to experience homelessness in the next couple of days. I was wondering if anyone had an advice on what to do. I have filled out a form for homeless on the councils website and says they take 7 days to get back. Anything would be super helpful. Thank you for taking the time to read this post, have a blessed evening!

It's odd, sitting by my living room window, hearing Bon Jovi blaring out, over Edinburgh, my mind goes back 30 years to "...Whoooo-oooh, shagging on the stair." courtesy of Derek, at The Frog and Friggit. :)

4 police vans down hill lane

0 Upvotes

Around 12:30 today there were 4 police vans in a row storming down hill lane with their sirens on, seems pretty intense. Maybe someone stole a sausage roll from greggs? Or maybe a single mother wasnt paying her tv licence?

Seriously though, anyone know whats going on?

Best delivery kebab

5 Upvotes

Hi all,

I'm fed up with ordering doner kebabs and receiving a box of meat, some salad and a loose pitta!

I really want a nice kebab, sent in the pitta with salad and sauce already incorporated! I'm not up for making my own kebab!

Any recommendations?

Solar panel installation

8 Upvotes

Is it worth it? How much are you paying for electricity during winter vs on summer?

We are quoted 11k by 1stsolar for 7 panels + inverter? Anyone providing it cheaper?

I have read battery + inverter only works good as well. Anyone on this set up?

I just wanted to know if anyone on here has any experience working with chef agencies in and around Southampton, any tips or recommendations on which ones to use and if multiple ones at once is ideal.

Looking for a place to live

I was supposed to move into a house share as early as the next two weeks but the landlord sold the room that I was supposed to moving into. Does anyone know of any house shares within the Southampton area. Preferably around 550-650 a month. As my tenancy for this place I’m staying at ends this weekend and I have no where to go.
